Czech Republic: Prague Jewish Studies - Main Page

Through the AU Abroad Prague Jewish Studies Enclave Program, students have the opportunity to study in one of the most dynamic and compelling cities in Europe.

The program is administered by CET Academic Programs, an organization that AU Abroad works with to run the program onsite in Prague. Students earn a full semester of AU credit in classes taught in English.

The Jewish Studies program gives students the opportunity to study the rich history, culture, and literature of Central and Eastern European Jewry through a multidisciplinary curriculum of intensive courses in Prague. Students examine the history, culture, literature, and the arts of Central and Eastern European Jewry, while also exploring the non-Jewish history, politics, and society of the region. The program explores the enormous contribution of Jewish life to the region's culture, literature, arts, and history. The program’s location of Prague is one of Europe’s most beautiful and enchanting cities, and host to one of the oldest continuous Jewish communities in Europe and one of the richest collections of Judaica in the world.
